What's wrong with the Xbox controller?

[Norik]

I've heard that it sucks for fighters, but I don't see why.

People dislike the D-Pad, which is hot garbage. I don't know, though, the Playstation D-Pad hurts my hand so I don't get the comparison.

Either way, buy an arcade stick.

Idek. Personally, Xbox controllers just don't work for me. I've used PS controllers all my life and I could never get comfortable with the xbox controller... even when I had one.

I don't really pay attention to how what works best with what for fighting games/shooters, just from personal experience.

Because pressing 6 registers as 9 or 3 sometimes, the pad directional overlap makes precision more difficult.

Personal Bias: Buy a stick (and dual mod it)

I use it and do fine, but I've been using an xbox pad for years. When I play on PS3 I play a little worse just because I'm not used to it as much.

I find the PS3 pad better for precision, but my slide inputs are wayyyyy more consistent on the 360 pad.

PREFERENCE.
